As I was classifying galaxies on this website. I stumbled upon this one. This contained a small green square to the right of it. Any explanations on what this could be? Or is it just a graphics glitch?

There's nothing similar that I can see when viewing the SDSS version. Perhaps a faulty pixel or else a cosmic ray hit?
